Elliott Wave View Expects Tesla Rally to FailElliott Wave view in Tesla (Ticker: TSLA) suggests the rally to $352.09 ended wave ((2)). This suggests the stock is in an impulsive Elliott Wave structure to the downside. Wave ((3)) is in progress and the subdivision unfolded also as a 5 waves Elliott Wave impulse of lesser degree. Down from $352.09, wave 1 ended at $343.8 and wave 2 ended at $351.5. Wave 3 ended at $281.69, wave 4 ended at $290.61, and wave 5 of ended at $279.28. The entire move lower from $352.14 to $279.28 ended wave (1) of ((3)). Tesla is now correcting the decline from $352.09 in wave (2). The correction looks to be unfolding as a double three Elliott Wave structure. Up from $279.28, wave W ended at $298.52 and wave X ended at $287.75. The stock has scope to extend higher towards $307.16 – $319.20 area to end wave Y of (2). Afterwards, it should extend to the next leg lower or at least pullback in 3 waves. As far as pivot at $352.09 stays intact during the correction, we expect the rally in Tesla to fail and the stock to extend to the downside.

Bear flag is surely forming = BEAR trend has begunIf you look carefully at the last 2 days what do we see? Inverted hammers. Price resistance 350. My fractal was off, because of holidays, but basically it, this was the fractal event. Which will spiral Tesla into the ABC pattern, and begin an actual bear for it or rather it will force the price to touch a major support line at 250 and 200 respectively. TESLA is extremely desperate for cash. They increase efficiency at the price of lowered stock price. That is a fact. They grew to where they are now, but now is the time to become a better oiled machine, and that my friends will require more pain. Which will translate into more price decline. We may still hover between 315 and 300, but one thing is for sure, Bears will be hungry for blood here, and bulls will be scared especially if price dibs below 300. If we close below 300, SHORT the living crap out of TSLA it is heading straight to 250 in a matter of days. Obviously i am no oracle, but you have to agree, this thing is so volatile. As price will decline back to 250, and ER is fast approaching, all eye will be on it. Here is what i think is going to happen: Good sales, targets reached, BUT insane cash burn. So price jumps initially, but then the details emerge such challanges, and cashflow or god knows what. Causing the price to drop back and decline past 250 into 200 Territory for the first time. TSLA is a pioneer, they have inspired other and they did incredible things. BUT, and a BIG BUT, all companies, without exception, go through correction phase. So unless ER is epic, expect a MASSIVE SELL OFF. This will affect all other EV companies. For those that need to be reminded about the bear flag: www.tothetick.com Good luck everyone ;) **LEGENDS** BLUE = Bear/Resistance Yellow = Bull/ Support ~Explore the chart for possible scenarios of price actions - use zoom and scroll for better view.~ /*This information is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

TSLA Approaching Major Top at $420 (Elliot Wave 5)Although I personally am a big fan of Tesla and the cars, this analysis is not about my love of the cars but rather the balance sheet and technical analysis. It is no secret that Tesla (TSLA) is the most shorted stock in the United States right now. The balance sheet and cash flow make no sense (burning through billions of dollars in capital each quarter, constant net losses and never made a net profit for the last 10 years, and yet the stock price keeps going up). Despite all this, Elon and his magic make people believe (can anyone say "behavioral finance"?) However, if you look at the Elliot Wave macro outlook, it looks like TSLA is approaching wave 5 (which would mark the top, then a ABCD correction would follow) - and if the waves tell us anything, the "top" wave 5 would appear to be around $420 - the exact price Elon tweeted he would take his company private at today. This is not a recommendation to short TSLA stock - everyone who has done that for the last 10 years has lost money. Rather, it is an observation that $420 may indeed be the market top for TSLA, even if they do end up being a solid car company for many years to come.

Was Tesla the Canary in the Coal Mine for the Stock Market? After the SEC went after Elon Musk, we saw the stock drop 30%, but the chart already showed that a big reversal was in store for Tesla with a bearish divergence and a swing high failure on the RSI on the daily chart as well as the weekly chart. We also see that magical Canfield Fibonacci level show up at 17.944 as the top for Tesla. I debuted these fibonacci extensions in my last post here if you'd like to learn more about them and how I calculated them: This was the same level that Gold and Bitcoin were rejected at. You will see that Tesla hit the 17.944 Fibonacci extension and formed a massive bearish divergence and a swing high failure that we’ve seen on the Dow Jones, Amazon, Apple and many of the other charts I highlighted. AMAZON CURRENTLY FACING THE 17.944 with the same bearish divergence. Dow Jones facing the same bearish divergence. After this bearish divergence, Tesla had one more run back to the 17.944 before getting rejected and is currently retracing to the 11.09 Fibonacci extension. We saw a 50% fall from it’s all time high around $383 for a bounce around $194. Do the other charts and indexes I highlighted have the same fate in store? Monday will be a big day for stocks as they’ve already had one of the worst downward slides since May of this year. Bitcoin is still in undecided territory and I have highlighted both a bearish and a bullish scenario. Let me know what you guys think of the new Canfield Fibonacci levels and if they're helping you with your analysis. Monday will be a very interesting day...

TSLA Short; Weekly Close under Heffae Clouds - MTF Analysis TSLA is closing underneath the Weekly Cloud bottom for the first time since inception. I believe this means more than consolidation, as the path-fitting has given extremely valid signals on bottoms running up the Monthly so far. This is an extremely strong signal given the prior path validity and being a longer time frame in agreement with repeated signals from shorter timeframes on Heffae Clouds. The Monthly provides a target for closing short at 217: Hybrid Timeframe is showing resistance at 285. Ideal Entry: 295-300 Target: 218

Is Tesla finally gonna burn down?Turbulent days/weeks for Tesla and Elon Musk. After Musk's tweet saying he planned on taking Tesla private for $420 (20% higher than the price at that time) spurred a major bull run the troubles began. First of all he mentioned that the funding was secured...which it wasn't. Possible investor was a Saudi controlled investment company which seems to be backing off from Musk and invest in a competitor instead Lucid Motors. Second the SEC is starting an investigation into false price manipulation because of that. And as third the Board knew nothing about it which is a very concerning managing style. These are not the only problems Tesla is facing. -It also hasn't made a single annual profit since it was founded 15 years ago. -Production is lagging behind. -Multiple accidents with the Auto-Pilot (granted the driver still has to pay attention) JPM is also adding fuel to the fire by lowering it's price target from $308 to $195 by December 2018. As for the technical side looking at the weekly chart, MACD is looking for the "bearish" crossover. The 10-week RSI has plenty of room left to fall even further. I suspect it might find some support around the level of $284.50. In the event of a clean break we're gonna retest the trend that was fromed in Februari '16. Managing to beat that trend JPM's target is definitely not out of reach with the signs of some real support around $180. That pretty much sums it up! Disclaimer: I'm not telling you what to do always cross reference with your own analysis. I'm not responsible for your loss!

$TSLA PRIVATE AT $420? As I am sure you all are aware of the speculation surrounding $TSLA going private at $420, I want to hear: are you still LONG/SHORT or has your opinion changed? Personally, I have too many questions about them going private. The main one being the price target of $420 are where this funding has been secured from. According to Elon's tweets, shareholders can either decide to sell their shares before going private or being the will be able to keep them if it ends up going through. Elon is no stranger to this as he does the same thing with Fidelity's investment in SpaceX. I do agree with the fact that Tesla short propaganda is real from short sellers, but I think the is an issue that Elon holds personally (which in hind sight can have upside and drawbacks simultaneously). Im sure the next few weeks will certainly be interesting to say the least.

Tesla Elliott Wave Analysis: Correction Sill In ProgressHello Traders, In this Elliott Wave Analysis, we will have a look at Tesla in the 1-hour timeframe. Tesla ended the cycle from 04/02/18 low (245.19) at the peak of 06/18/18 (373.85) in blue wave (1). Below from there, the stock is in the progress of correcting the cycle from 04/02/18 low in 3-7 or 11 swings lower in blue wave (2). The internals of blue wave (2) pullback is unfolding as an Elliott Wave double correction where red wave W ended at 07/05/18 low (296.05). The internals of red wave W unfolded as a flat structure, where it ended black wave ((a)) at 06/26/18 (325.54), black wave ((b)) pullback at 07/02/18 peak (366.85) and black wave ((c)) of red wave W at 07/05/18 low (296). Up from there, it ended red wave X pullback at 07/10/18 peak (329.44). Below from that peak, it ended blue wave (w) at 07/24/18 low (292.35) and blue wave (x) pullback at 07/26/18 peak (310.63). Near-term focus remains towards the area of 272.92-264.22, which is 100%-123.6% Fibonacci extension area of blue wave (w)-(x) before a reaction higher can be seen. As long as the pivot at 329.44 peak stays intact, we expect it to extend lower as the right side remains still to the downside.

Using Technicals to measure TSLA market fatigueI've never charted TSLA using my relatively new charting skills so I thought I'd check it out. Remarkably, charting Tesla reveals a lot of predictable price action. First thing that's noticeable about Tesla is that despite growing losses and a lack of profitability Tesla has remained more or less in a bullish channel since the beginning. Despite a great deal of volatility there's been an extreme level of support that's more or less allowed the stock to continue increasing in value despite relatively poor results. However, noticeably, starting Sept 2014 TSLA began a negative trend within the larger positive channel that ended with the Trump rally following the election in Nov 2016. That rally peaked in mid to late June 2017 and the market has been in a descending channel since then. This descending channel differs from the 2014 one in being newer (obviously) with the market yet to trade into the lower half of the channel. Notably, during the 2014 to 2016 negative trend the market mostly stayed within the upper half of the channel which indicates the faith of core TSLA shareholders. During that time, TSLA was still "new" and "fresh", allowing optimism to overrule skepticism. Now, in 2018, we're starting to see signs again of skepticism creeping into the market. At the peak, 1 W and 1 M (month) RSI divergence was signaling. These are major sell signals and in the case of the 1 M signal it took nearly 4 years for the signal to occur beginning with a RSI peak in June 2013 followed by a subsequently lower RSI peak 4 years later in June 2017. Looking at 1 W signals it's clear that divergence signals were followed by periods of consolidation but the cycle for Tesla clearly looks far into the future, allowing each period of draw downs to be followed by buyers attracted to cheap shares. TSLA price bounced hard right as 1 W RSI hit just above 30, indicating the strength of TSLA in the market. Now, with price having dipped about $100 off the peak with clear 1 M divergence signaled we can get a better sense of the market fatigue from TSLA based on technicals as well as fundamentals. The recent dip followed reports that the Model 3 continues at a low production level, likely because TSLA can't sell them for $35,000 at a profit (which is what Elon Musk more or less said himself) but at nearly $80k they can produce them profitably. When combined with the absurd 6-9 month wait for a vehicle and announcements from BMW of a Model 3 beating model slated for the 2020 model year the market seems to be very clearly reaching a breaking point in its "faith" that TSLA will ever be profitable or will even "survive" as Elon Musk put it (more or less - don't remember the ask phrasing). Elon Musk is clearly aware that Tesla is at risk of losing too much money too quickly that they cannot continue to operate. Overall cash flow has become a major concern for them and they are running out of gimmicks to pull, i.e. like the Boring Company, or announcing the Roadster and the Semi to crowdfund their operating cash. At some point soon, they will need to actually make money or the market will turn against them. These things all appear to be signaled by the price action over the last 4 years. Beginning in 2014 the market began to fatigue and price fluctuated significantly but failed to break that much higher. Then the Trump rally boosted the stock market all across the board. As 1 M RSI divergence was signaled the market started taking profit but an expectation of the Model 3's production ramp up allowed price to stay up through early 2018 but as the Model 3 repeatedly failed to reach the target production capacity as promised/expected, we saw about 3 tests of the upper channel line by the market followed by a sharp drop off as the market began to price in failure. Given the current price level near the middle of this descending channel and the market yet to test the bottom of the channel and 1 M RSI divergence, shorting/buying puts on TSLA looks promising.

Watch out: Cup & Handle forming and Q1 Results!Tesla is still trading within the profit area I identified on March 19th, 2018. It's currently trading BELOW the 200 days EMA as well consolidating the bear tendence. On the other hand there has been an adding up of long positions lately, probably in the hope of a bounce right after the Q1 earning report scheduled for May the 2nd. The movement on the hourly chart shows a probable cup & handle formation taking place. It might be a burst but it is worth taking a close look at it. If, and I highlight the IF, this formation completes I would set a TP at around 305$ more or less. Still within the profit area I highlighted on March 19th. It is important to notice that on May the 2nd the company scheduled the Q1 financial reporting and Q&A webcast. I personally do not expect a lot from this. And all I expect is no good news. The company missed production targets for the Model 3 and we already know that. The company closed down the production lines recently due to various issues and all I expect is a confirmation of all these problems (and much more) in the financial results too. ***As usual, not a trading advice, merely my idea for educational purposes only***

Using Trend Indicators to Help Determine a Short in TSLATSLA is having quite a bit of news these days. There are plenty of traders who will use that for fuel to look long or short. However, that's not what I want to do. I want to let the chart tell me what to do. As I'm not using my actual trading platform, a few things will have to be "givens". Feel free to look these up for yourself. This is how to trade using a plan for the entire process start to finish before you enter. If you do not have a trading plan, do not take this setup. This is for educational purposes only. Trading involves risk and you may lose actual capital by taking this trade if it does not work. You must trade your own plan. I simply wanted to show you what that can look like for a specific trade. Learn more by joining our CTP Group and start building your plan today. mailchi.mp Using two price channels, the shorter mid line has crossed below the longer midline on both the daily and weekly. What this means is that daily and weekly price action is geared towards the downside. This has failed before, but this is not the reason to short, simply a confirmation piece that the short is valid. Using the 60 minute, a high probability short is presenting itself. Not shown: MACD & 200 simple moving average. Shown: 50 simple moving average, ichimoku cloud (cloud only, nothing extra to keep confusion down as much as possible) and 20 range price channels. TSLA is closing below the 20 range low, under the 50sma, and below the cloud. The 200sma (not shown) is above the 50sma which shows bearish strength from a moving average perspective. The MACD (not shown) and MACD Avg are both below zero showing short side strength. Setup 1: Short when the 60 minute closes below the 20 range low. (Triggered Just now on close at $282.65) Setup 2: Short when the 60 minute closes below the previous pivot low at $282.51. (Not Yet Triggered) Initial stop (aggressive) above today's high which is $291.62 using whatever cushion your plan suggests. Initial stop (conservative) using the 20 range high. Exit if the 60 minute closes past the 20 range high or move your stop just above the bar that closes above the 20 range high. Profit target: $250 Trailing Method: Once the 20 range high gets below your entry price, walk the 20 range high. If price closes past the 20 range high after it gets under your entry price, exit immediately or move the stop just above that bar's high. Do not move the stop until the 20 range high gets below your entry price. Accept the full risk going in. You reduce risk when it's not working, not when it is not working and you really didn't want to lose what you put out there. If target reached, take all off or 1/2 off and walk the 20 range high for the rest. Earnings for TSLA are May 2nd, you have plenty of time to exit before earnings. Do not hold thru earnings unless your plan allows. Earnings have substantial moves and a 60 minute chart is not where you want to be trading earnings from. This is a high probability trade but that does not guarantee it will work. Trading is not about guarantees, it's about trading consistency to produce an edge over the long haul. This is how every trade you take should look: Reason to take the trade Where to get in Where to put the stop Where to get out (Notice trailing it is an option, it doesn't have to be 1:1 or anything like that) When to reduce risk & trail Known news events that could disrupt your trade & what to do about it If it doesn't, it's time to start learning how.
